South Carolina.
AUGUSTA, GA, Dec. IA shocking
domestic tragedy was enacted to-day in

in the child's behalf. Aquarrel ensued, and
Edwards knocked his wife down and beat
and choked her numerically While doing
50, his son John, aged IS years, interfered
and begged his father to desist. Edwards
threw an axe at his son, but missed him and
proceeded with the brutal punishment of
his wife. The son ran into the house
and grabbed gun loaded with
s!ugs and pieces of iron for the
purpose Of shooting hawks, and commanded
his father to desist from choking his mother
A daughter was at the time also interfering
in behalf of her mother. Edwards paid no
heed and the son fired. Father, mother and
daughter fell, each having received part
of he contents of the gun in the region of
the bowels. The mother died in a half
hour afterward. The daughter is so dan
gerously wounded that thore is little hope
of her recovery. but the father was only
slightly wounded. Before she died the
mother exonerated her son from all blame

A chronic Ter dencv Overcome.

Many persons are troubled with a chronic ten
dency to constipation. They are of bilious
temperament. The complaint to which they are
subject, though easily remedable by iudicious
treatment, is in many cases aggravated by
resort to drastic pu:gatives and cholagogues.
As the human stomach and bowels are lined
with delicate membrane. and not with vulcan
tie. they cannot stand prolonged drenching with
such medicines without serious injury. Nothing
restores and counteracts an habitual tendency
to constipation so effectualy as Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. Its laxative c fleet is gentle
and progressive. 1t neither convulses nor
weakens the intestines, and its effects are unac-
companied by gripping pains. 1t arouses the
liver when the organ is sluggish, promotes di
gestion, and encourages appetite and sleep. For
fever and ague kidney troubles, nervous com
plants and incipient rheumatism, it is incOm-
parable Take a winegasS before meals and see
how soon you will relish them.

MRS. JACKSON'S HOME AT COLORADO SPRINGS.
light raigns and there is the merest strip of
the deep blue Colorado sky showing directly
above. Tall ferns are growing everywhere
in the rocky crevices, and many strange vines
and blossoming plants struggle upward to the
light That hardy and aggressive plant, the
warlike Spanish bayonet, or soap weed, sends
up its spire of creamy blossoms, guarded by its
fringe Of bristling leaves. Near the entrance
to the canyon a shrewd and typical Yankee
has set up gate where toll is taken, twenty
five cents, for the ostensible purpose of keep
ing in order rickety flight of 260 stairs.
There is a stream rushing along at the foot of
the precipice on one side, which is guarded by
an insecure railing. The roar of the waterfall
with the sensation of great height, as one
slowly crawls up this strange stairway in the
rocky canyon, combine to shake ones nerves
and set ones pulses beating at pretty
lively rate There is another half hour of
steep climbing, after reaching the top of the
stairs, over rolling pebbles and sand, then
walk of third of a mile on the summit and
at last the grave of "H H." in lonely Pine
Hill Forest Is reached.
The grave is in the shade Of large trees, in
a small open space in this wild and almost in
flat mound of earth, as it was Mrs Jackson's
express wish that neither tomb nor monu-
ment should mark the spot. Loving hands
of friends have piled a cairn of carefully Sc
lected stones near the mound, and planted
trailing killickinnick among them. On tree
at the head of the grave are carved the famil-
lar initials III. H." Although it was impos-
sible to keep the spot of her burial secret, her

desired she was here buried on beautiful

or PRAYER. Her own words most fittingly

ance with her wishes. 1t was Mrs. Jackson's
desire that the exact place of her burial
should not be made known to the public In
obedience to her wishes, two days after her
death her husband and two friends bore
she coffin up the steep and rugged mountain
pathway to her lonely grave in Pine
Hill forest, as the place is called. 1t was not
long before the secret was out, and prying
eyes soon discovered the grave, and the wild
and solitary spot is now often visited, not
only by the friends and admirers of the gifted
authoress, but by hundreds of sightseers and
continental tourists.

eastern p, nnsylvania for years.
Young Harvey had every educational ad-
vantage in youth, and when only 90 years
old was graduated with the highest honors at
Lafayette college. Shortly after graduation
he was made professor of mathematics and
higher English in the Wyoming seminary at
Kingston, Pa He founded the Harvey
prize for English" at Lafayette college, con-
tributed valuable collection Of books to the
library of that institution and was recording
secretary of the Alumni association of the
school for years. He was admitted to the
LuZerne county Der has been a director in
the Masonic Benefit association of Wilkes
barre and is counselor OF the American In
stitute of Civics of which the president is
Chief Justice Waite.
Previous to his marriage Harvey went
abroad and is said to have conducted himself
like lord. He was an adept in pushing him
self socially and made many acquaintance in
London and Paris among eminent people.
AT the time of his arrest Harvey was chief Of
the horse claims division in the third auditors
Office of the treasury.
1t has been developed that Harvey kept a
diary il which he recorded accounts of his
talks with friends, records of his travels, etc.
He also kept set of books for himself. but
the officers investigating his case have been
unable, thus far, to learn what was done with
the money obtained by his forgeries He had
no bad habits, and his only extravaganza
seems to have been that of purchasing expen-
sive books, brio brac and house decorations.
His desk contained thirteen kinds of ink and
an extensive assortment OF pens In book
were found directions for the use of the vari-
GUS pens and inks for different signatures,
which were indicated by numbers. The risks
he ran i'll securing approval of claims pre-
pared by the help of the forgeries were great.
The banks that presented the forged drafts
will be called upon to make the amounts good.

TEACHERS IN CHICAGO.
"Reminiscences Suggested by the National
Convention Held There.

Convention Held There.
Chicago has but barely recovered from the
visitation of schoolma ans and schoolmas-
ters which it recently sustained on the occa-
sion of the holding of the National Teachers
convention there. From all accounts the
gathering was satisfactory one TO all con-
cerned and the exposition building, where
the convention was held, has rarely contained
so great an aggregation of good looks and
good heads as it did during the session. But
it is not with the convention that this article
has to deal directly, but with reminiscence
brought out in a late number of The New
England journal of Education. 1t seems
that the statement had been made that this
teachers convention was the first ever held in
Chicago. This is shown to be mistake, for
a teachers convention was held in Chicago
twenty five years ago. On the return trip of
the New England delegation the party
stopped at the Island of Manitou, and here is
the description given of the visit:
"Before reaching Manitou we learned from
the officers of the boat that there was a
school upon the island. Delighted at the
prospect of an opportunity to visit school,
and espe cially so romantic one as this was
pictured to be, we set out at once, on landing,
for the little log schoolhouse. The descrip-
ton gave us little idea of its primitiveness
There was hole in the roof for stovepipe,
one in the end for door, and two on the
sides for windows, which, with numerous
large cracks between the logs, gave ample op-
portunity for light and ventilation. The
only piece of school apparatus in the room
was. as Mary D. Adams described it, "a
blackboard about two feet short by eighteen
inches narrow The school was taught by
Miss Angelica Buss, of New York. She was
